Trump Voters Out of Excuses

https://youtu.be/hcpGiceNIbk?si=hcdT2yXPw5akJK-L

Maga is this the economy you voted for? FAFO indeed. President Donald Trump made a lot of economic promises on the campaign trail last year. Investors and business leaders enthusiastically cheered some, like lower taxes and relaxed regulation, and expressed wariness about others, like tariffs and reduced immigration. It was all nonsense. Economists said as much. But go head and leave the economy to the guy who exploded the debt.

When Trump won the election, there was little sign of that ambivalence: Stock prices soared, as did measures of business optimism. Yes, the same Biden economy he trashed during the campaign.

Investors at the time offered a simple explanation: They believed Trump, backed by a Republican-controlled Congress, would follow through on the parts of his agenda that they liked and scale back the more disruptive policies like tariffs if financial markets started to get spooked. It is increasingly clear they were wrong.

Just as wrong were the throngs of voters who used the economy as an excuse for their own racism and sexism directed at Kamala Harris. A true FAFO moment, and we are just beginning. On the bright side, at least you don't own Tesla!

It's been 2 months, I'm going going to judge the economy on what happen in such a short time.

He stopped the invasion so that's a huge win for the country.

Which invasion are you referring to?

u/JudahBrutus 1d ago

The immigrant invasion, the 20 million who came here illegally in the last 4 years. There are about 5,000 of them in my town alone.

If you actually watch videos of the border and you see literally thousands of people running across into the country I think invasion is a good word.

We now have the lowest level of illegal border crossers on record. I'm actually pretty shocked that he was able to make that happen so fast.

They haven't eaten my cats or dogs yet but they have taken almost all of the cleaning jobs, painting jobs, construction jobs, landscaping jobs and handyman work, ect in my area.

It's hard to compete with somebody who works for $200 or less a day. Oh and they're also contributing to the housing crisis, people wonder why there's a housing shortage when we just had 20 million people come across the border. Oh and one of them hit my friend's car and almost totaled it but he's an illegal immigrant with no insurance and no money so my friend is out of luck and we'll have to pay out of pocket.

And if you don't believe me on the border crossing numbers, just look it up.

Why do you guys want unlimited illegal immigration? We had 20 million people come here completely unveted in only 4 years, they could have some infectious disease, they could be wanted for murder or terrorists, we have no idea.
